From that day on, I ran from spot to spot.

I’m the same kind of guy before all this happened.

Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it.

My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was – it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played...

This is the thing you dream about when you’re a kid, even before getting into the league.

If you don’t believe you don’t belong.

In these days of modern tennis a player is as strong as his weakest stroke.

I was a starter and did some good things there, and then I got a chance to prove myself as a closer. Because of that opportunity, I was blessed with the honor of being elected...

What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren’t supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown – watch the raindrops coming...

A fellow doesn’t last long on what he has done. He has to keep on delivering.

I’m not really interested in sports psychology. It makes me feel like a crazy person.

Fear can be conquered. I became a better person and a better football player when I learned that lesson.

I don’t think the discus will ever attract any interest until they let us start throwing them at each other.
